It didn’t take long for Rousimar Palhares to do what Rousimar Palhares does. “Toquinho” successfully defended his World Series of Fighting welterweight title with a first-round submission of Jon Fitch at WSOF 16 on Saturday at the McClellan Conference Center in Sacramento, Calif. Palhares secured one of his signature leglocks, forcing the fellow-former UFC fighter to tap out at just 90 seconds into the evening’s main event. “I’m the best in the world,” Palhares said, after expressing a feeling of euphoria. After the fight went to the ground, Palhares grappled with Fitch to the edge of securing the finishing hold.
